:blink: Marijuanna has no effect on me and seems like a big waste of money.  If I really want any 'buzz' I choose red wine ... hic up. :p

no effect :o big waste of money :o take it back. :p

you probably don't know how to properly smoke properly or don't smoke good weed. most people who don't smoke cigarettes don't know how to pull smoke from the spliff/cig/blunt into their mouth and then into their lungs. if you dont smoke then you should feel your lungs 'collapsing' your first time.

There is only one reason why booze is legal and pot isn't. You can tax booze. You can't tax pot cause anybody could grow it. booze is an industry. I am personally against any government controling a persons individual freedoms. If someone wants to ruin their body with pot, drugs, booze, or kill themselves, they should have that right. Same with cigs. cigs will kill you slowly. yet it is legal cause it can be taxed.

Face it... it isn't illegal cause the gov't cares about your wellbeing. If they could control it and tax it, they would be shoving it down your throats.

its illegal to distill your own booze, and i think you can make your own wine. the government could grow the pot itself and tax it and keep it illegal to grow your own pot but they can't stop the people from growing it now so whats to say they'll be able to in the future. ;)

That's a good point. It really doesn't take much skill to drink. You just consume it and don't puke. Hell, even if you puke you just keep consuming until you don't care anymore.

Pot does take at least a little bit of skill. People often say that they don't get any buzz off of it but that is usually because they are beginners and they might be nervous or simply don't know how to do it properly. It's not all that hard, but you have to at least be somewhat aware of what you're doing. Also, if you think joints/blunts don't give you much of a buzz, I'd like to see you take a couple full hits off of a bubbler/bong with some actual quality weed in there and tell me you don't feel anything. ;)

regardless of whether or not either should be legal, the scientific facts show that neither are very good for you. Alcohol tends to trash the liver, and supresses the central nervous system. bad for you.... not to mention what else it does to the body

Pot, tends to weaken the mylene sheath, around the axons in the brain. The Mylean sheath acts as an insullator between neurons, making communication between cells faster. This is very bad. While pot users wont notice at first, it leads to all sorts of nasty things such as memory loss and psychosis... Very bad...

Not trying to start a flame war here, just trying to put out a couple of facts. I Live in BC, where pot is not a huge deal. do I care if people use it? not really. do I think it is as "safe" as people claim it to be? most certainly not.

Alcohol is way more deadly than Marijuanna. it no contest. it should be legal.

Exactly how is alcohol "way more deadly" than marijuana? If you're saying more people die from drunk people than high people, well duh. That's because booze is currently legal and pot currently is not (in the U.S.). If pot were legal, there would be more high people around and more people dying because of them. Personally, I think pot is more deadly because a couple good hits off of a join feels like you just instantly had like 15 beers, except without the sick feeling. Basically, you can get really high a lot easier and faster than you can get really drunk (in my opinion, at least).

I REEEEEALLLY want to know what Neobonds thinks about this. Since where he lives Weed is leagal so he probobly smoked a blunt or two before

I bet Neobond would reply to this thread, but right now he's too high to find his keyboard.

;) :p :laugh:

you guys should read this, I don't know how real it is... but found it on other forum I visit

That seems quite real. I searched Google News and found a whole bunch of sources reporting the same thing. The catch is that it is only a small amount of marijuana. So they're not totally legalizing it, just a significant step towards that, it appears.

thats where your wrong my friend. beer makes people violent. weed makes people calm. two completely different things..

as for a couple hits being 10 beers.. have you ever smoked?? that not even close... i cant even begin to describe how wrong that is. alcohol != weed, totally different.

and another thing - saying Neobond is too high to find his keyboard.. i know it was a joke, but that doesn't make sense. too DRUNK to find it maybe. weed doesn't make you stupid like alcohol.

weed...

definately.

why?

i've been drunk before... i can't control myself, walking into walls, falling down uncontrollably, etc.

i've also been high before... i can control myself, i can act perfectly normal if i need to, i can walk perfectly. only a little paranoid at times :)

mr. Marley said it best:

I smoke two joints in the morning

I smoke two joints at night,

I smoke two joints in the afternoon

And it makes me feel alright

Smoke two joints in time of peace

And two in time of war

Smoke two joints before i smoke two joints

And then i smoke some more

i don't actually smoke joints but i think it's way better than getting drunk

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
